Book Synopsis History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) by : Petrus Johannes Blok
Download or read book History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) written by Petrus Johannes Blok and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 3 Proceeding with his story of The People of the Netherlands, Professor Blok has devoted two volumes (III. and IV.) to the period of the Eighty Years' War. His narrative runs from the beginning of the revolt against Spanish authority, 1568, to the Treaty of Munster, 1648. The years 1559-1568 he treats as forming the prologue to the struggle for independence. He suggested that this material might be put into one volume of the English version, in which the greater weight is given to the social and economic conditions than to the political affairs of the people. But in this epoch of change and transition many more details were necessary to gain a knowledge of these conditions than in the earlier periods of Netherland history. Part III. comprises, therefore, Vol. III. and half of Vol. IV. of the original, from 1559 to the end of the Truce, 1621. The bibliography for the period is indicated in the article on the historical sources in the Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Fall of the Dutch Republic (Classic Reprint) by : Hendrik Willem Van Loon

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fall of the Dutch Republic The following conversation is not uncommon: The well-intentioned Patron of Arts and Letters asks the Author what he is doing. "Writing a History." "That is good. Very good. A History of what?" "The Fall of the Dutch Republic." "Splendid! That is what Motley has done, too, and we need some new light on the subject. Look at it from a modern, up-to-date point of view - show us how the People... Hold on, now. I am wrong. You said, 'The Fall of the Dutch Republic'? Motley wrote the Rise. Why, I did not know that the thing had ever fallen." And then, most welcome Reader, it appeared that out of a hundred interested inquirers, ninety-nine had none but the very vaguest conceptions of the adventures of the Dutch Republic from the moment it had ceased to be chronicled by the Great American Historian. Some few, who had taken English history in college, had dim recollections of a certain William of Orange who as the husband of Queen Mary had played some sort of a role in the works of the late Lord Macaulay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Dutch Republic: A History To the Dutch Republic, even more than to Florence at an earlier day, is the world indebted for practical instruction in that great science of political equilibrium which must always become more and more im portant as the various states of the civilised world are pressed more closely together, and as the struggle for preeminence becomes morefeverish. Courage and skill in political and military combinations enabled William the Silent to overcome the most powerful and uh scrupulous monarch of his age. The same hereditary audacity and fertility of genius placed the destiny of Europe in the hands of William's great-grandson, and enabled him to mould into an impregnable barrier the various elements of opposition to the overshadowing monarchy of Louis XIV. As the schemes of the Inquisition and the unparalleled tyranny of Philip, in one century, led to the establishment of the Re public of the United Provinces, so, in the next, the revocation of the Nantes Edict and the invasion of Holland were avenged by the elevation of the Dutch stadholder upon the throne of the stipendiary Stuarts.

Book Synopsis Poor Relations by : Maarten Maartens

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poor Relations: Stories of Dutch Peasant Life The whole hamlet effervesced with delicious perturbation. Every one was telling every one else that Jan Hunkum lay murdered in his bed. The Hemel is one of the dirtiest spots in a country where no spot is very dirty. The appearance of the place is against it: some few dozen disorderly hovels lie pitched across a field, their builders having allowed them to fall as they chose. Some, abusing this permission, lurch heavily, looking as if, like many of the people inside them, they had frequently taken a drop too much. Others bend backwards, propped up with the pride that cometh before a fall, and the general crookedness, and the old age that accentuates it, give the tumble-down dwellings a disreputable leer such as many of the indwellers have developed for themselves. Our conceptions of heaven - which is "De Hemel" - must inevitably remain inadequate at the best: perhaps the angels up yonder, in cloudland, cannot properly distinguish the gulf which, in our appreciation, sinks a pool of poverty and wickedness like this little Dutch hamlet beneath a favoured nook of our deteriorated Paradise such as, say, Monte Carlo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales Told in Holland There is at least one story from each of the eleven Dutch Provinces, which form the kingdom of the Netherlands; fanciful folk tales from the little known heath and fen country of Groningen, Drente, Overyssel and Gelderland where the folk must make up for the barrenness of their land by the fruitfulness of their fancy; realistic tales from the green and fertile provinces of Friesland, Utrecht, North Holland, South Holland and Zeeland, with their typical Dutch scenery, - flat green fields, wind mills, little red-roofed houses, dykes, and black and white cows, - a coun try so satisfying that the good folk accept the world as their two eyes behold it and do not fly away on the wings of fancy but are quite as mat ter-of - fact as their excellent Edam cheese; and so on the stories go through the province of North Brabant to Limburg, the land of ancient Sagas of Charlemagne, bordering his capital of aix-la-chapelle, and full of the atmosphere of romantic legend.

Book Synopsis Holland of the Dutch (Classic Reprint) by : Demetrius C. Boulger
Download or read book Holland of the Dutch (Classic Reprint) written by Demetrius C. Boulger and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holland of the Dutch In the first place, an apology is due to Nederland and the Nederlanders for using the commonly accepted but inaccurate terms Holland and Dutchmen. Much as we should like to introduce the change in English usage, the effort is too hopeless of success to be attempted here. The only defence that can be made for the name Holland as applying to the whole country instead of a province is that it distinguishes it from Belgium, which also forms part of the historic and natural Netherlands. The same consideration or difficulty has led French writers to adopt a similar usage as far as the country is concerned, but with them the description of the people as Hollandais (i.e., Hollanders) is a more faithful rendering than our term "Dutch," which is based on the radical error of treating them as Germans. A tendency to call their country Holland has recently become noticeable among the people themselves, but there is none at all to speak of their nationality otherwise than as Netherlanders. At the zenith of his power Napoleon I haughtily described Holland as the alluvion of French rivers, and probably but for the Russian adventure this description would figure in French geographical works to-day. The lower courses of the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Scheldt reach the North Sea at various points separated by no more than sixty miles from north to south, and within that range not fewer than eight main channels have forced their ways to the ocean.

Even peace did not bring back the old days of order and meticulous progress in nearly all directions. The revolution, which began with slogans of liberty and prosperity, ended with the liberty to destroy and to kill foreigners of all races. Our Indonesian friend continues with these simple words: Out of this ferment emerged the tragedy and problems of the Indonesian State and its peoples after their libera tion. Indonesia, one of the richest countries of the world and a nation with every possibility for advancement, be came, as it were, swamped in a morass.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of Holland Holland had a great part in the making of the civilization of Europe. By a very un usual training amid the elements of nature, the Dutch were educated to take a noble part in bringing about the modern world Of ideas and forces. To win first their own land from the waters, to make it habitable, and then to gain the dominion Of the seas, were notable triumphs of mind over matter. To lead in intellectual liberty and freedom in religion, in the enlargement Of the bounds of human knowledge, and in the union and reconcilia tion Of the Orient and the Occident, were surely great things to be done by a country so small in area and a people so few in num bers.
